Bloody Foot Quote by Ed James

“Fenchurch checked his bonnet — just a slight prang by the passenger door. He got in and shut the door. Then winced as his foot pressed down the clutch. He tried to ease it out, twisting his shoe around. Bloody foot had locked. He reversed off the kerb and drove back towards Upper Street” quote by Ed James
